THREE LIFE SKETCHES – ACRYLIC AND PASTEL

Painting’s taken a backseat to opening parcels, eating and drinking but here’s some of my latest life paintings done during the run-up to Christmas. The first one is an acrylic, the second a pastel and finally another acrylic, each done in around 90 minutes during some of the life sessions I attend.

I always work on primed paper, using a light to midtone colour which I let come through the subject. It also allows you to accentuate the light hhighlights against the darker background (which you couldn’t do if you left the paper white)
